Also, con someone else post in press. I am getting a bad reputation ; )

Our wings are not tired.
Sweet number Jesse.
I certainly think that the discussion started some time ago, but I was thinking that the "formal" 4 day discussion is the time to campaign for your side in the vote. Go Favorite Number! Go Yes! whatever
Also, the annoucement in Press that discussion has begun signals those who wait until that time to come in here.

Hokay then. So can I just say DISCUSSION STARTS NOW and link to Sophia's post in Press? Because I'm willing to do that.

Sophia (who is doing such a wonderful job here, her reputation should only improve) - I'll post in Press, if you like. [Edit: x-post with Jesse, who has been more involved in this than me, and therefore has more right to do the posting]

Since we have written and seconded however many times a formal proposal now, I think the discussion of several days will be (a) skippable for those who care to skip and (b) generally academic, and not direclty affecting the proposal, unless we find another verbal ambiguity as was just corrected into post #7228.
So I can live with 3 more days of discussion; I'm just going to skip it all. Laura, you want to post to Press? Anyone?
[Edited to add: thanks Jesse.
[And to add: Gar, I'm in agreeance with Jesse on 15 being too high a number, and ironic, given the whole "gang of 14" discussion we just had. So, let's just leave the proposal as is. OK?]

Can I just confirm that discussion will go until 12:01 am Sunday, board time, at which point voting will start and go until 11:59 pm Tuesday, board time?

Um-- I am actually just the secretary of the proposal Gar.
I think that can come up during formal discussion if people want to change it.

Yeah, I believe the discussion period includes potential changes to the proposal.
